Gibb's Farm, Karatu, Tanzania

The Farmhouse

The lodge

The main facilities, consisting of a living room, reading room, dining room, bar and gift shop, are situated in the old Farmhouse. 

Living room Originally built in 1929, the Farmhouse retains her character of a well-looked-after private house with roaring fires and friendly hospitality. The Farmhouse patio sprawls into lush, vivid, gardens with sweeping views of the valley and beyond.

The Living Rooms

The Farm’s original chill room (from the cool waters of the Ngorongoro forest) was long ago transformed into a cozy living room.  The front living room has hardly changed in 80 years.

Library reading room The Reading Room

The Farm’s old knitting room was recently transformed into a library and reading room.  Outside the library, a charming patio sprawls into the lush floral garden, providing sweeping views of the coffee farm and valley beyond.
